Ever feel like you missed the memo on why everyone's obsessed with containers? Like, you know Docker exists, you've probably used it, but you're still wondering why it became the thing that basically took over infrastructure? I was having this exact conversation with a colleague last week. They asked me, "Why don't we just run each app on its own tiny VM?" And honestly? It's a fair question. Let me walk you through why containers didn't just win by accident-they solved real problems that were driving us all crazy. This post is for anyone who's ever thought: "Okay, containers are everywhere, but why exactly?" Here's the thing-containers and VMs both do isolation, but they're solving it in completely different ways. Think of it like this: What you get Containers (Docker & friends) Virtual…  ( 7 min )

GitHub Homepage: https://github.com/eastspire/hyperlane As a computer science student working on cross-platform projects, I've always been frustrated by the compromises required when targeting multiple operating systems. My experience developing web services that needed to run seamlessly across Windows, Linux, and macOS led me to discover an approach that eliminates platform-specific code while maintaining native performance on all systems. The challenge became apparent during a group project where our team needed to deploy the same web service across heterogeneous infrastructure. Our initial Node.js implementation worked but suffered from platform-specific performance variations and deployment complexities. This experience motivated me to explore alternatives that could deliver consistent…  ( 6 min )

Everything seems neatly lined up, but it still feels… awkward? You might be missing two essential but often ignored ingredients: visual rhythm and shared baselines! In this post, I'll break down what these mean, why they matter (especially for developers), and how to implement them for that "designer" interface vibe. Visual rhythm is the repetition and spacing of elements that guides the eye, creating flow and predictability. It's like music for your eyes: Repetition = beats Spacing = tempo Alignment = structure When you have good rhythm, interfaces are easier to read, smoother to use, and just feel better. Let's map it out: Music Concept UI Equivalent Real-World UI Example Beat Repeating elements Rows in a table, cards in a grid Tempo White space pacing Hero vs. product grid …  ( 5 min )

I'm currently writing a vite plugin, which aims to collect all .txt files in src/, so that each component can get access to that file list. Currently, my code looks like: import { sveltekit } from '@sveltejs/kit/vite'; import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; import * as path from 'node:path'; import * as fs from 'node:fs'; /** @returns {import('vite').Plugin} */ function myplugin() { /** @type {import('vite').UserConfig} */ let config; let cache = {}; let cached = false; return { name: 'myplugin', configResolved(_config) { config = _config; }, resolveId(id) { if (id === 'virtual:pages') { return id; } }, load(id) { if (id === 'virtual:pages') { if (!cached) { const dir = path.resolve(config.root, 'src'); fs.readdir(dir, (err, files) => { if (err) { console.error(`Error reading directory ${ dir }:`, err); return; } console.log(files); files.forEach(file => { const filePath = path.join(dir, file); if (filePath.endsWith('.txt')) { const content = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf-8'); const key = file.replace(/\.txt$/, ''); cache[key] = content; } }); cached = true; }); } return 'export default ' + JSON.stringify(cache); } }, }; } export default defineConfig({ plugins: [myplugin(), sveltekit()] }); Then I can just import pageList from 'virtual:pages' to obtain the file list. I don't know if it is the idiomatic to implement that, and how to implement HMR for that.  ( 3 min )

JavaScript String.prototype.substring() and it's confusingly similar yet deprecated cousin .substr() have been around a long time, but so has the better solution: .slice(). Slice is most compatible with modern JavaScript. It accepts one or two indices, supports negative indices, and operates predictably. Indexes and indices are interchangeable plurals for index. Databases usually use indexes to refer to optimized lookup tables. Array operations usually refers to indices. Math often uses indices and while much of programming follows from math, there is a mix. The MDN article on substring uses both, for instance. Substr is deprecated. It was never part of the core spec, and unlike most other string operations it takes index and length. I've added it to the example comparison because it lives…  ( 5 min )

This post is my submission for DEV Education Track: Build Apps with Google AI Studio. Inspired by the rising popularity of collectibles such as Smiskis and Sonny Angels, I created "Collectible Creator." You enter an idea for a collectible into the box, click generate, and watch your vision come to life! Once satisfied, click the "I'm satisfied" button to generate how it would look as a keychain and a mini themed collection. I made sure to specify the AI tools I was using, the aesthetic choices for the app's appearance, and conducted numerous trials and errors to determine how I wanted the characters to look. Some characters I made: Screenshots: I was quite surprised by how well the AI worked. I thought it would constantly misinterpret my words or neglect parts of my prompt, but it was successful most of the time. You could see the code forming before your eyes, with a bar on the side also tracking errors and progress. I had to change Imagen AI to Pollinator AI, as Imagen was a paid service, and make some tweaks to prevent the app from crashing. However, the overall process was smooth. It is not perfect, and there were times it did not understand my prompt at all; I had to repeat myself many times. Yet, still much faster than if I coded it by hand. There are also still some bugs where the app returns incorrectly formatted results, but you can retype the prompt and try again. Overall, very cool and will definitely be experimenting with this to create more complex apps!  ( 3 min )

Artificial Intelligence (AI) significantly enhances edge devices by enabling more intelligent, autonomous operations. The recent advances in large language models (LLMs) running in the cloud are leading to transformative applications in the IoT space. Developers typically select from three principal AI integration patterns: on-device models, cloud-based models, and hybrid models. On-device language models operate entirely within the local hardware environment. This approach offers data privacy, reduced latency, and consistent operation regardless of network conditions, making it ideal for real-time applications or devices with intermittent connectivity or stringent privacy requirements. However, the complexity and scale of these models are constrained by the limited computational resources…  ( 7 min )

Machine learning (ML) has become a cornerstone of smart, autonomous decision-making in IoT devices. These “smart devices” derive their intelligence from the ability to analyze and act quickly on sensor data, at the edge, and respond accordingly. Historically, microcontrollers were too limited for anything beyond basic rule-based logic. But with the advent of frameworks like TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers, we entered the era of TinyML, enabling machine learning on even the most resource-constrained devices. While device-based models have steadily benefited from better microcontrollers and model optimization techniques, the AI landscape has seen an explosive leap in cloud model capabilities in the past year.

We recently launched Claude Code Sessions in Depot, a feature that allows you to share Claude code sessions with both developers and your CI workflows. In our previous blog post, we noted that "we've been using Claude Code at Depot since pretty much the moment it dropped," but we didn't elaborate on how. This article will demonstrate one of our most valuable CI uses: consistently keeping our forks updated. All of our GHA runners run on their own isolated EC2 instances. As such, we need to build an image that these runners can load, called an AMI. This sounds like it'd be pretty easy! Github keeps the definitions for their runner images open source, so it'd just be a matter of modifying their source to work with our runners, and then building the AMI. Unfortunately, it's not quite that simp…  ( 12 min )

Where do I even begin? Let’s say you work at a big company—one of those that takes pride in hiring the best. Brilliant minds, high integrity, top-notch standards. To live up to that, they build a meticulous hiring process. Clear-cut expectations, thorough business rules, solid examples—all neatly packaged in a PDF. It's more than guidance; it’s the blueprint. The idea is to give every candidate the same shot at being fairly evaluated. Now imagine a candidate applies for a Software Engineer position. You send them that trusty PDF. A strong developer? They’ll absorb it, think it through, and try to create something that’s readable, scalable, maintainable. But then... there are the others. The vibe coders. They’re not trying to understand anything—they’re just trying to get through the gate. …  ( 5 min )

In this example, we use DBOS to build an AI deep research agent that autonomously searches Hacker News for information on any topic. This example demonstrates how to build reliable, durable AI agents with DBOS. The agent starts with a research topic, autonomously searches for related information, makes decisions about when to continue research, and synthesizes findings into a comprehensive report. Because the agent is implemented as a DBOS durable workflow, it can automatically recover from any failure and continue research from where it left off, ensuring no work is lost. This example also demonstrates how easy it is to add DBOS to an existing agentic application. Adding DBOS to this agent to make it reliable and observable required changing <20 lines of code.

Choosing the right platform for your data and AI workloads isn’t just a technical decision, it impacts how fast you can ship, scale, and control costs. Two of the top contenders today are Snowflake and Databricks. Both are cloud-native and built for big data, but they serve slightly different goals. So... which one is right for you? 🤔 Snowflake is all about simplicity. It’s built as a data warehouse, optimized for structured data and SQL-first workflows. With its separation of storage and compute, and intuitive scaling, it’s perfect for BI teams and fast reporting needs. Databricks, on the other hand, is based on the lakehouse architecture, a hybrid between data lakes and warehouses. It’s more flexible for working with structured and unstructured data alike, and it’s optimized for runni…  ( 4 min )

Be like me—develop a navigational app with Bluetooth P2P communication for the Bolt Jam. Days later, Jack Dorsey unveils a weekend project with the same P2P concept! Of course, this is a coincidence, as the idea of peer-to-peer communication was pioneered by the Nintendo DS with Pictochat. However the intersection of Bluetooth mesh (as in Bitchat) and CIVIL’s P2P approach is genuinely intriguing. It signals a shift toward resilient, local networks—ideal for spots with spotty or no internet. Ideas bubble up across minds and moments, colliding unexpectedly, and that’s where the magic happens. Social networks offer front-row seats to this creative convergence. Yet, unknown ideas often get ignored, while reputed ones are hailed as genius and go viral. I’ve learned to accept this as social media’s nature and its caveat. Keep creating, improving society, and dodging being the "guy" who stalls progress. in the end we all share the same goal. Well, that’s enough of this fun anecdote—back to the grind! Cheers!  ( 3 min )

"We replaced Webpack, Node, and esbuild with one tool—and our stack got 10x simpler." For years, Rails developers grudgingly accepted JavaScript tooling fatigue as the price of modern frontends. Then Bun arrived—a runtime so fast it makes Node.js feel like dial-up. After migrating a production app to Bun + Ruby, we discovered a shocking truth: this combo eliminates 90% of frontend pain while keeping Rails’ magic intact.

Let's be real. We've all been there. You find a seemingly perfect component on NPM for that one specific feature you need—a date picker, a modal, a swipe button. You install it, you import it, and then the nightmare begins. You try to change a color, and you have to fight through five layers of CSS specificity. You want to move the icon just a little to the left, but there's no prop for that. You end up writing hacky CSS, adding !important everywhere, and silently cursing the developer who sealed their component in a black box. I hit this wall one too many times with swipe buttons. I wanted something that was both beautiful out of the box and completely, utterly customizable. So I decided to build my own.

Motivation Hey folks, how’s it going? This is the second post in the series where I’m sharing my real-world experience with SOLID principles in a straightforward and down-to-earth way. In the first post, I talked about SRP and showed how small violations can make code maintenance harder. If you haven’t seen it yet, go check it out! Today, we’re taking a step further with the Open–Closed Principle (OCP), the pillar that teaches us how to extend behavior without modifying what's already working. This term was coined by Bertrand Meyer in 1988 and popularized by Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob). OCP is usually summarized by the phrase: “Software entities should be open for extension, but closed for modification.” At first glance, it seems paradoxical how something can be open for extension and c…  ( 5 min )

Introduction Amazon Web Services (AWS) released Kiro, an agentic AI IDE yesterday. Built an app with it today. Here is my honest take of this new AI IDE. This is my first experience trying Kiro and spent around 8 hours building a TODO app with Google OAuth2 authentication. AWS released an AI powered agentic IDE powered by Claude 4.0 Sonnet. Cursor and Windsurf are it's competetors in this area. This area has been very hot with startups cloning VS Code and building AI code editors and several of them are worth couple of billion US dollars. You can learn more about Kiro at https://kiro.dev/ Kiro supports vibe-coding as well as spec-based coding. I felt that this is a good way to teach industry best practices for a non-software engineer on how to build a software project from scratch. Fr…  ( 6 min )

Just came across this new debugging plugin for QGIS called DevTools that was released by NextGIS. The plugin basically lets you connect VS Code to QGIS for debugging. Instead of adding logging statements everywhere or dealing with buggy setups, you can now set breakpoints, inspect variables, and step through your code directly from your IDE. Launches a debugpy server from QGIS Can be configured to start automatically when QGIS launches Allows choosing a custom port for the debug server Lets you connect from VS Code to debug your own plugins Simple setup process Before this, debugging QGIS plugins could be painful. Many developers relied on adding logging messages everywhere or used older plugins like debug_vs_plugin, which was often buggy and had issues on Windows and macOS. This new plugin provides a much more streamlined approach to remote debugging. The plugin is available on the official QGIS plugin repository and the source code is on GitHub. The documentation walks you through the setup process step by step. This seems like a valuable tool for anyone developing QGIS plugins, and its foundation on the modern debugpy library is a promising sign. One current limitation, however, is that debugging code in other threads (e.g., QgsTask) still requires some extra work. Hopefully, future versions will streamline this process. While it did crash QGIS on me once during testing, the core functionality is reliable, making it a clear upgrade from the alternatives. Thanks to the folks at NextGIS for making this - looks like a really helpful tool.  ( 3 min )

Multitenancy is often treated as a systems-level problem. Most teams assume they need to overhaul their infrastructure to support multiple users or agents, when in reality, if your system can isolate context, persist memory intelligently, and handle scoped user sessions, you’re already 80% of the way there. This article explains how to build multitenant agents without redesigning your architecture and explores the practical paths teams can take today to support multiple users from a single agent setup. What is a Multitenant Agent in AI? In AI, multitenancy refers to the ability of a single AI system to serve multiple users while keeping each user's data, context, and memory completely isolated.

A medida que los modelos como GPT-4 comenzaron a mostrar capacidades que superaban con creces las pruebas existentes, la comunidad de IA se enfrentó a un problema: Los benchmarks tradicionales, que durante años habían servido para puntuar y comparar modelos, estaban siendo sistemáticamente demolidos. Los benchmarks de IA, como el popular MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding), estaban alcanzando un punto de "saturación". Los modelos más avanzados, como las versiones preliminares del modelo "o1" de OpenAI, simplemente destruyeron los benchmarks de razonamiento más populares. Esto significaba que ya no podíamos diferenciar realmente entre un modelo muy bueno y uno verdaderamente excepcional, porque a decir verdad para el uso cotidiano convenciional funcionaban exactamente igual, se …  ( 5 min )

As we build NextBlock CMS, every architectural decision is weighed against our core principles of performance, scalability, and developer experience. One of the most significant decisions we're making in Phase 2 is the transition to a monorepo architecture using modern tooling like Nx or Turborepo. For those unfamiliar, a monorepo is a single repository containing multiple distinct projects with well-defined relationships. Here’s why this is a game-changer for a project like NextBlock. Preparing for a Plugin Ecosystem The future of NextBlock is an ecosystem of themes, plugins, and custom blocks. A monorepo is the perfect structure to manage this. It will allow us to separate concerns cleanly, for example: apps/web: The main Next.js front-end application. packages/cms-core: The core logic a…  ( 4 min )

Submission for the World’s Largest Hackathon Writing Challenge: Building with Bolt I’m Allen Blythe, a 58-year-old retired dreamer with no coding experience, a heart full of ambition, and a passion for challenges. When I stumbled across the World’s Largest Hackathon on Bolt.new, I saw more than a competition—it was a chance to turn my vision of making education accessible and fun into something real. With minimal tech skills but a lifetime of grit, I built EduSphere AI, an AI-powered learning platform for students, teachers, and parents. This is the story of how a YouTube ad, a tiny laptop, and a whole lot of determination transformed me into a creator, proving it’s never too late to chase a dream.

This hackathon was more than just a coding sprint - it was a turning point in my life. After spending 11 years in a secure, full-time role, I made the bold decision to step away and finally start building for myself - something I had always dreamed of but never dared to pursue. What sparked this leap was the incredible experience with Bolt. The hackathon gave me glimpse into what's possible with Al and no-code tools. It reignited my curiosity, my builder's mindset, and most importantly, the belief that I could create meaningful products on my own. Beyond the technical side, what stood out was the community - people cheering each other on, mentors offering guidance, and the energy of being surrounded by like-minded makers. It gave me the push I needed. I'm now on a journey to build my own vision, and I have this hackathon to thank for lighting that fire.  ( 3 min )

First Things First — What’s EC2? Elastic Compute Cloud. Now, if someone coming from using physical machines or on-premise servers, here's the shift — instead of maintaining those heavy, costly, and fixed systems, we now use virtual servers in the cloud. These are much more flexible, scalable, and cost-effective. EC2 is just AWS’s version of this virtual computer. We can launch it anytime, choose our operating system, configure its specs, and access it from anywhere — all through the internet. And not just AWS, almost every cloud provider offers a similar service with different names. Here’s what I learned as I explored EC2. These are not definitions, just what I personally understood through hands-on work: When we launch an instance, give it a proper name — something like akash-dev-machine…  ( 5 min )

It has been almost a month since I released Mine Cart Operator, a small puzzler game about dwarves and mining carts! I really like the idea of the build in public so in its spirit I decided to write up this small article to share with anyone interested the numbers and statistics from my released game. The idea in this article is to present statistics raw, with just a few comments on some of the data with some of the insights that I had while looking at the numbers, but I invite the reader to not take any of the insights as “absolute truths” as each launch and dev are unique and have their own context. Before I share all the numbers, some important context about the game. It was released in itch.io on June 8th, initially released with 26 levels, costing 1.50USD, with the possibility of buye…  ( 4 min )

“Under Construction.” That banner sat on my screen for weeks. But not anymore. https://aish-portfolio-website.netlify.app/ 🌟 Why I Built This Whether it’s a recruiter scanning for skills, a collaborator checking out my work, or someone simply curious about what I do — I wanted to make sure they leave with a solid impression. 🔧 Tech Stack & Tools React.js – Modular, dynamic UI components Tailwind CSS – For clean, utility-first styling Framer Motion – To bring sections alive with subtle transitions Netlify – Quick & hassle-free deployment I also used: React Icons for visual flair VS Code + Git for dev workflow Figma (for initial UI mockups and layout experimentation) 💡 Features I’m Proud Of 🧠 The Journey (And Some Pain Points) Balancing Design & Performance: I wanted animations, but I didn't want lag. Framer Motion made it easier to strike that balance. Responsive Design Breakdowns: Styling across different devices broke the layout multiple times. Media queries and Flexbox fixes to the rescue! Fighting Deployment Bugs: Build errors that only showed after pushing to Netlify. Learned to love the build logs. 🎯 Key Takeaways Start simple, then scale: My first draft was just text blocks. The animations and enhancements came later. Good UI is invisible: Transitions, spacing, and feedback matter more than flashy designs. Don’t aim for perfection on Day 1: What matters is shipping it — iteration can (and should) follow. 🔗 See It Live https://aish-portfolio-website.netlify.app/ I’d love to hear your thoughts — feedback, feature suggestions, or just a “Hey, nice work!” — anything helps.

How building a "simple" image optimizer led me to contribute to computer vision research and discover algorithms that don't exist yet Six months ago, I started what I thought was a straightforward project: build a better image optimization algorithm for our company's platform. "How hard could it be?" I thought. "Just compress images better than existing tools." Today, I'm collaborating with researchers at three universities, my optimization experiments have uncovered novel compression techniques, and I've accidentally stumbled into the cutting edge of computer vision research. That "simple" optimization project became a journey into uncharted territory where art meets science and theory meets practice. This post explores the experimental frontiers of image optimization and how developers c…  ( 11 min )

Picture this: You sit down at your Mac with a coffee, planning to "quickly check a few emails." Next thing you know, it's 3 PM, your coffee has achieved room temperature, and you're wondering if you've entered some sort of time vortex. Sound familiar? If you're nodding your head (and possibly rubbing your stiff neck), you're not alone. In our hyper-connected world, time has a sneaky way of slipping through our fingers like sand – or like that last slice of pizza when you're not paying attention. That's why I built a session tracker that lives right in your Mac's menu bar. It's like having a gentle, persistent friend who reminds you to take breaks, tracks your work patterns, and occasionally judges your life choices (in the nicest possible way). Our session tracker is basically a sophistica…  ( 9 min )

Takeaway: You can swap a legacy AgentExecutor for a LangGraph node in a single commit. The payoff is lower overhead, deterministic routing, and native persistence. LangChain announced that with LangChain 0.2 the original agent helpers (initialize_agent, AgentExecutor) are deprecated and will only receive critical fixes. LangChain recommends moving to LangGraph’s node‑based approach for better control flow, built‑in persistence, and the ability to use multi‑actor workflows. Legacy pattern (langchain < 0.2) versus current pattern (langchain 0.2 or newer): • Agent entry point – legacy: initialize_agent; current: graph node created with LangGraph helpers. initialize_agent TO A LANGGRAPH NODE Below is a minimal ReAct agent that calls a calculator tool—first the legacy way, then the LangGraph …  ( 5 min )

AI agents are everywhere in tech discussions, promising autonomous everything, from managing your calendar to closing sales deals. It's easy to get lost in the whirlwind of impressive demos and future-gazing articles. I’ve been in this space for over a decade, watching technologies rise and fall, and I can tell you: this isn't just another buzzword cycle. The hype is real, but so is the potential for misdirection if you don't understand the underlying shift. For SaaS companies, the advent of AI agents isn't merely an incremental upgrade; it’s a foundational disruption. We're moving beyond AI as a clever feature – a recommendation engine here, a smart analytics dashboard there – to a future where autonomous AI agents become the very fabric of your product, redefining value, competition, and…  ( 12 min )

O Ruby nasceu em 24 de fevereiro de 1993, quando Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto decidiu criar uma linguagem mais poderosa que Perl e mais orientada a objetos que Python (YouTube, Wikipedia). A inspiração veio de diversas linguagens: Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, Lisp e Python (Wikipedia). Em 21 de dezembro de 1995, Matz lançou a primeira versão pública, o Ruby 0.95. Já nessa primeira versão, já estavam presentes conceitos que viriam a ser marcas da linguagem: orientação a objetos, classes, mixins, iterators, exceptions e garbage collection (Wikipedia). Nos anos seguintes, Ruby conquistou o Japão: em 1997 surgiu o primeiro artigo sobre a linguagem; em 1999 foi lançado o Ruby Application Archive, e no mesmo ano Matz publicou o primeiro livro em japonês (Wikipedia). Em 2000, com o lançamento de “P…  ( 4 min )

When I was working as a freelance developer, I developed many e-commerce sites. Most of them were on WordPress using the famous WooCommerce plugin. But I made one with Mercado Shops for a friend. I have never used Shopify till now, and I’m fully converted. Later, Hostings allows to install WordPress automatically, so you didn’t have to do much work to start your site. However, you will need to install templates, plugins, etc. But the most important thing is that your site need a maintenance. If you had an e-commerce, It would be your tool to earn money. It couldn’t fail because you would be losing sales. WordPress sites, especial e-commerce sites, are being hacked every day. So, the best you can do is to hire someone to secure and back up your site or pray. It means that you don’t need to worry about security, firewall, network, server, deploys or upgrades. If you work with no code, you don’t need to worry about functionality eighter. It is a turnkey service. You needn’t start from scratch; a simple store could be ready in a day. The simplest one, but it is all you need to start selling. Nevertheless, if you really need something more advanced, you can still code and develop extra features. Years ago, when I was THE FREELANCE DEVELOPER, I worked with WordPress. However, today, my advice to any client would be to use Shopify, Tienda Nube or Mercado Shops. Because they have whatever you need to start selling online. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel, do it as simple as you can. When your sales go up, and the commissions you pay are higher than the cost of having an IT department, then you can think of another option.  ( 4 min )

Making Microservices Simple, Smooth, and Scalable with Containers In today’s fast-moving tech world, microservices have become the go-to architecture for building powerful, flexible, and maintainable applications. But let’s be honest — managing and deploying dozens (or even hundreds!) of microservices can feel like juggling fire while riding a unicycle. 🔥🚲 So, how do modern developers keep everything running smoothly without burning out? The answer lies in containerization. 🐳✨ Before we dive into solutions, let’s explore the three big challenges developers face with microservices. Imagine deploying one service — easy. Traditional deployment involves manual work, fragile scripts, and too many things that can go wrong. The more services you have, the harder it gets to keep everything in…  ( 6 min )

When I first started working with dates in Java, I came across java.util.Date, Calendar, and java.sql.Date. At first, I thought they were the standard way of doing things. But the more I used them, the more confusing and frustrating they became. Here’s what I learned as a student and why I now use the java.time package for all my date-related logic. java.util.Date Is Mutable and Confusing One big issue with java.util.Date is that it’s mutable. That means if you pass it to a method, that method can change it without you even realizing it. This creates unexpected bugs. Also, the way it handles years and months is just weird. For example: Date d = new Date(2025, 7, 16); // Actually means year 3925, not 2025 ` (Yes, it adds 1900 to the year. Why? No idea.) Calendar Was Meant to Fix It... But It Didn't So Java introduced Calendar to fix the problems in Date. But honestly, it’s even harder to use. The syntax is bulky and just feels wrong: java There’s too much going on for something that should be simple. java.sql.Date Is Only for JDBC At one point, I tried using java.sql.Date everywhere. But I found out it's only meant for JDBC, not for general use. If you use it in your normal application logic, you’re basically mixing database code with your core logic — and that’s not good practice. java.time.* Then I discovered java.time (available since Java 8). It just makes sense. Everything is clean, immutable, and easy to work with. java This is how I expect a date API to work. And if I need to use it with JDBC, I can convert it: java If you're a beginner like me, I really suggest skipping the old date/time classes unless you're working with legacy code. Stick to java.time — it’s clean, safe, and built for modern Java. Just wanted to share this little realization in case it helps someone else struggling with Java date handling like I did. Let me know if you faced something similar or found your own way to handle dates! `  ( 4 min )

Not long ago, a friend of mine asked me to help her generate some galaxy-themed AI images. She said, “I’ve got like 40 prompts saved, all about nebulae and starfields, but only two or three work.” Then she added, “It’s like I’m digging through prompt fossils.” And honestly, I get it. Whether you're using Midjourney, DALL·E, or Stable Diffusion, crafting a stunning, layered galactic scene starts with a solid prompt. But here’s the truth: You might be bookmarking cool prompts on Reddit, Discord, or Twitter. You might even write your own, tweaking adjectives, lighting cues, or artist references. But fast forward a week or two, and suddenly... you don’t remember which prompt worked, which didn’t, or what you were even trying to do with half of them. I’ve been through this myself. I tried Notion, markdown files, even using ChatGPT like a messy notebook. Eventually, the whole system became a digital junk drawer. Recently, I started using a small tool to better manage what I call my “top prompts for galaxy.” I created a folder named “Galaxy | Cinematic Space Scenes” and added my best-performing prompts there, with short notes like “Ghibli-inspired soft glow” or “realistic starscape with depth.” Whenever I’m creating visuals, writing about AI art, or testing new styles, I can pull these prompts up in seconds. No more sifting through chat logs or screenshots. Of course, how you manage prompts depends on your style. But if you’re looking for a simple way to organize and reuse your best prompts, FlashPrompt (https://www.flashprompt.app/) might be worth a try. It’s what I use now — minimal setup, easy tagging, and recall. Give it a shot if it sounds like your thing. At the end of the day, the challenge isn’t finding good prompts — It’s keeping the good ones from getting lost. Here’s hoping your next galaxy image comes from a prompt you remember.  ( 4 min )

This chapter is a summary based on “Clean Code” by Robert C. Martin. All rights reserved by the original author. You can find this summary in my Github profile: clean code summary Before learning what makes code clean, we must first see why bad code is harmful. In many workplaces, pressure to meet deadlines leads to rushed development. This results in messy, tangled codebases where features pile up on shaky foundations. Over time, such code becomes difficult to manage, slowing down progress and risking the entire project's health even the company's survival. As programmers, we've all struggled with frustrating code that wastes time and energy a phenomenon sometimes called wading through code. Despite this, it's common to delay fixing issues, telling ourselves we'll clean up later. However,…  ( 4 min )

Written by Peter Aideloje✏️ Building a scalable and maintainable React application is often accompanied by a series of challenges, including a lack of type safety, growing pains as projects expand, unreliable prop validation, and brittle DOM manipulation.

I'm building an e-commerce platform using: React Native for the mobile frontend Django Admin for back-office product and order management FastAPI for providing async API services to the mobile app I have a few questions: Which framework should handle the CRUD logic for products, orders, etc. — Django or FastAPI? Is it a good idea to let Django Admin call FastAPI for data, or should it access the database directly? How should I structure the authentication system (e.g., JWT login)? Should FastAPI be the auth provider? If I plan to add AI-based features, how should I structure that service alongside Django and FastAPI? What's the recommended way to store and serve ML models (local folder, volume, or object storage)? Any architectural suggestions or real-world examples are welcome. I'm using a shared MySQL database for both Django and FastAPI. Thanks in advance!  ( 3 min )

Here, I’ll say it: adding PWA support to a Next.js App Router project is still way harder than it should be. You either hack around an existing library that kinda works with App Router (but not really), or write a custom service worker from scratch… every time. We hit that wall enough times with client work that we finally said: screw it, let's build something that actually works and doesn’t make you fight the framework. So we built next-pwa-pack: a drop-in utility that wires up full PWA functionality to your Next.js app with basically no config. We use it in production ourselves — and now it’s open-source.

How AI and data analysis are revolutionizing the way we optimize images for the web Six months ago, I started tracking every image optimization decision across our platform - compression levels, format choices, quality settings, and their impact on user behavior. After analyzing 2.3 million images and 47 million user interactions, I discovered something remarkable: the "optimal" compression settings weren't what I expected, and traditional optimization wisdom was wrong about 34% of the time. This journey into data-driven image optimization revealed that machine learning could predict the perfect optimization settings with 87% accuracy, while human experts achieved only 61%. This post explores how data science is transforming image optimization from art to science. // Traditional vs. data-d…  ( 10 min )

The Rise of Browser-Native Automation and the Infrastructure Race to Power It The web is no longer just a place for browsing. It’s where modern business happens: sales, support, onboarding, research, and operations. Yet most automation tools weren’t built for this environment. They are fragile, hard-coded, and break the moment a webpage changes. Manual work still dominates. Research by Freshworks from 2024 shows 73% of B2B teams spend hours weekly on manual activities, such as transferring data between CRM systems or managing multi-platform client onboarding. AI browser automation is now stepping in as a replacement. Instead of brittle scripts, AI agents interpret tasks the way a human would. They read pages, click buttons, collect insights, and adjust as layouts shift. From Manual Work t…  ( 6 min )

When I look back at the last eighteen months of my professional life, I can see a clear shift — not in the job title on my CV, but in the way I approach my work, my learning, and even my sense of belonging in tech. That shift didn’t happen overnight. It came through mentorship. I was lucky enough to be part of two very different, but equally formative, programmes: Beyond Boundaries and Bridge. Each one offered me something I didn’t even know I needed. And the mentors I met along the way — well, I’m still processing how much they changed things for me.

Method Overloading: Method Overloading in Java means defining multiple methods with the same name in a class, but with different parameter lists. It allows a class to perform similar actions in different ways based on the type or number of inputs. Example: public class SuperMarket { static String shopName="Pavithra"; String prodname; int price; public static void main(String []args) { SuperMarket Product1=new SuperMarket(); Product1.buy(10); Product1.buy(15,100); Product1.buy(10.5); Product1.buy(10.5f); System.out.println(10); System.out.println(10.5f); System.out.println("hii"); } void buy(double dd) { System.out.println("buy one double arg"+dd); } void buy(int no) { System.out.println("buy one arg"+no); } void buy(int n01,int n02) { System.out.println("buy two args"+n01+""+n02); } } ` buy one arg10 buy two args15100 buy one double arg10.5 buy one double arg10.5 10 10.5 hii In Java, default values are the values that Java automatically assigns to instance variables if you don’t give them a value. For example, numbers get 0, booleans get false, and objects (like String) get null. This happens only for variables declared in a class, not inside methods. Local variables must be given a value before you use them — Java will show an error if you don’t.  ( 3 min )

Sending emails usually means boilerplate, authentication, domain setup, and yet it can still take forever to get right. But with the Email API Integration Assistant in ChatGPT, pairing with Mailgun went from project to proof-of-concept in record time. ⏱️ Minute 1: Set up Mailgun & ChatGPT integration ✍️ Minute 2: Write the code “Generate code in Python to send an email with subject, recipient, and body.” In seconds, I had a fully working snippet: from mailgun import MailgunClient mg = MailgunClient(api_key=…) mg.send_email( from_addr="no‑reply@myapp.com", to="user@example.com", subject="Welcome to MyApp!", text="Hey there! Welcome aboard." ) Behind the scenes, ChatGPT handled SPF/DKIM setup hints and error handling suggestions too—no manual research required. That alone was a massive time saver. ⚙️ Minute 3: Refine with conversational code Pull in user data as a dict. Generate a personalized message: Use the template in the Mailgun call. By the end, I had production‑ready code: user = {"name":"Alex","email":"alex@example.com","points":120} body = f"Congrats {user['name']} on earning {user['points']} points!" mg.send_email( from_addr="no‑reply@myapp.com", to=user['email'], subject="🎉 You earned points!", text=body ) Done — all within a 3‑min session 🌟 Why this works so well No‑code assistant prompts: The Email API Integration Assistant walks you through setup and code generation steps. Contextual code suggestions: It adapts sample code to your app structure and user data. Built‑in best practices: ChatGPT reminds you to configure SPF/DKIM auth with Mailgun, ensuring better deliverability. Fast iteration: In one chat session, I went from setup ➝ code ➝ customization without context switching. TL;DR All in all, under 3 minutes to a working Mailgun-powered email flow. The Email API Integration Assistant is an enormous productivity boost if you're integrating transactional email in any app. Curious to try it yourself? Here's the link. Happy coding 🚀  ( 4 min )

Today I was working on improvements to our Rails app monitoring, specifically, we wanted to get some data on what paths without underlying controller bots are making requests to. As you know, attempting to navigate to some random path raises an ActionController::RoutingError which is then rescued and turned into a 404 response for users. So, where do we hook into for custom logging? The answer is a special configuration option exceptions_app. # in config/application.rb config.exceptions_app = ->(env) do exception = env["action_dispatch.exception"] if exception.is_a?(ActionController::RoutingError) ErrorsController.action(:route_not_found).call(env) else # fall back to Rails' default for all other errs ActionDispatch::PublicExceptions.new(Rails.public_path).call(env) end end Now you can TDD a regular controller action to handle any custom behaviors such as logging or a custom error page as needed. A little note, be sure to access request.original_fullpath, rather than request.fullpath, because Rails internals will have set the fullpath to /404.  ( 3 min )

Polymorphism is one of the oops pillars in java. It has two types. They are, 1.Compile time polymorphism (or) Method Overloading 1.Method Overloading: Method Overloading allows multiple methods with the same name but different number and types of arguments within a class. Method Overloading is very important to naming convertion. Example: public class SuperMarket { static String shopname = "Kanchi Super Market"; String product_name; int price; public static void main(String[] args) { SuperMarket product = new SuperMarket(); product.buy(10); product.buy(5,50); product.buy(10.5f, 10.3f); product.buy(100.5d); } void buy(int no) { System.out.println("buy one args" +"=" +no); } void buy(int no1, int no2) { System.out.println("buy two args" +"=" +no1+" "+no2); } void buy(float no3, float no5) { System.out.println("buy two float args" +"=" +no3+" "+no5); } void buy(double no4) { System.out.println("buy one double args"+"=" +no4); } } Output: buy one args=10 buy two args=5 50 buy two float args=10.5 10.3 buy one double args=100.5  ( 3 min )

A runtime is the only way JavaScript becomes a systems language. If you truly understand that, you'll be unstoppable.

GitHub Homepage: https://github.com/eastspire/hyperlane My deep dive into context management began during a performance optimization project where I discovered that inefficient request context handling was creating memory leaks and performance bottlenecks. Traditional web frameworks often treat context as an afterthought, leading to resource waste and complex state management. This experience led me to explore how sophisticated context management can dramatically improve both performance and developer experience. The pivotal insight came when I realized that request context isn't just about passing data between functions—it's about creating an efficient, type-safe mechanism for managing the entire request lifecycle. My research revealed a framework that implements context management patter…  ( 9 min )

Remote hiring isn’t just about posting a job and hopping on a few Zoom calls. It’s about finding people who can thrive in a distributed environment, and that’s a lot more than technical skills. After years of building a remote team, I’ve learned that hiring for culture fit is as critical as hiring for talent. Let’s dive into how you can hire remote employees who not only excel at their job but also align with your team’s way of working. You can’t afford to get this wrong. Hiring someone with top-notch skills who doesn’t mesh with your remote culture costs more than money; it drains team morale and productivity. In a remote setting, communication delays, unclear expectations, and mismatched work styles get amplified. The absence of casual office interactions means you need people who natura…  ( 5 min )

SwiftUI Navigation Finally Makes Sense 🧭 If you've ever stared at NavigationStack wondering what happened to the simple NavigationView days, you're not alone. SwiftUI's navigation system has evolved dramatically, and it's time to understand how all the pieces fit together. 🎯 TabView fundamentals - The reliable foundation for multi-screen apps NavigationStack - Why it's not just a renamed NavigationView NavigationPath - Programmatic navigation that gives you full control Deep linking - URL handling that works across your entire app Common pitfalls - The gotchas that break navigation (and how to avoid them) NavigationStack isn't about pushing views - it's about pushing values. This shift from view-driven to value-driven navigation is what makes modern SwiftUI navigation so powerful. // Old approach: Hardcoded destination NavigationLink(destination: ProfileView()) { Text("Profile") } // New approach: Value-driven navigation NavigationLink("Profile", value: user) .navigationDestination(for: User.self) { user in ProfileView(user: user) } This separation means you can change what view gets displayed without touching the NavigationLink. You can push the same value from multiple places and get consistent behavior. Game changer for complex apps. Whether you're building a simple tab-based app or implementing complex deep-linked user journeys, understanding these navigation patterns will save you hours of debugging and make your code more maintainable. Perfect for iOS developers who want to build professional navigation flows without the typical SwiftUI navigation headaches. I've put together a comprehensive video that walks through everything step-by-step, with real code examples and common gotchas explained: 📺 Watch: SwiftUI Navigation - NavigationStack, Deep Linking & TabView Explained What's your biggest SwiftUI navigation challenge?

GitHub Homepage: https://github.com/eastspire/hyperlane My fascination with concurrent programming began during a distributed systems course where our professor challenged us to handle 100,000 simultaneous connections on a single server. Most students immediately thought about thread pools and complex synchronization mechanisms. I discovered a fundamentally different approach that revolutionized my understanding of high-concurrency web development. The breakthrough moment came while analyzing the performance characteristics of various concurrency models.

Each thread typically consumes 2-8MB of stack space, making 100,000 concurrent connections require 200-800GB of memory…  ( 6 min )

In the world of TypeScript, Type Assertion plays a crucial role in ensuring type safety and enabling developers to work with confidence. Let's delve into the depths of Type Assertion and uncover its significance. Type Assertion in TypeScript is a way to tell the compiler about the type of a variable, overriding its default inferred type. This can be achieved using the 'as' syntax or angle bracket syntax. let someValue: any = 'hello world'; let strLength: number = (someValue as string).length; By explicitly specifying the type of a variable, developers can catch type-related errors at compile time, reducing the chances of runtime failures. Type Assertion makes the code more readable by providing clear insights into the expected types of variables and expressions. While Type Assertion can be useful, it should be used judiciously to avoid undermining the benefits of TypeScript's type system. The 'as' syntax is the preferred way of performing Type Assertion in modern TypeScript codebases due to its clarity and compatibility with JSX. When dealing with union types, Type Assertion can be used to narrow down the possible types of a variable. let someValue: string | number = 'hello'; let strLength: number = (someValue as string).length; Type Assertion can be combined with type guards to create more robust type checks in TypeScript. function isString(value: any): value is string { return typeof value === 'string'; } let someValue: any = 'hello'; if (isString(someValue)) { let strLength: number = (someValue as string).length; } Type Assertion in TypeScript empowers developers to take control of type information within their code, leading to more robust and maintainable applications. By mastering Type Assertion, you can elevate your TypeScript skills and embrace the full potential of type safety in your projects.  ( 4 min )

Every engineer who's worked on billing knows the pain. You're not fixing bugs, you're rewriting logic that already worked, just to support yet another use case, for one more customer. If you've ever maintained a billing system, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The constant fear of touching the billing logic. The endless edge cases. The growing pile of "temporary" workarounds that become permanent fixtures. And before you know it, the same input starts producing different outputs. It’s not your fault. You just didn’t want to rebuild billing from scratch. So you patched. And kept patching. Even teams with solid engineering fall into this. Look at what happened with Cursor. They went from 500 to unlimited requests. Within days, users were seeing zero usage, or huge unexpected overages…  ( 5 min )

You know that old-style "X users online" counter on a website? I've recently seen it on roe.dev's blog and I though: it shouldn't be too difficult for a naive implementation, let's vibe code it! The stack: my blog is a static site built with Astro and hosted on Netlify, so I needed a way to track active visitors without a full backend. The goal was to create a simple counter that shows how many people are currently browsing the site, updating in real-time, without any annoying flickering. The main engine for this whole thing is Netlify's server functions. After all, I just needed a simple endpoint to ping when a visitor comes in, which also returns the current count of active users. I asked Copilot to write the logic in javascript and with a couple of iteration I already had a working dem…  ( 5 min )

In the age of digital-first impressions, your business website is often the first interaction a potential customer has with your brand. Naturally, many businesses obsess over aesthetics—choosing the perfect color palette, typography, animations, and images. While these elements are important, focusing solely on how your website looks can be a costly mistake. A sleek design won’t get far if visitors can’t figure out how to use your website. Modern users expect seamless navigation, fast load times, and a mobile-friendly interface. If a user struggles to find information or complete a task, they’ll bounce—no matter how beautiful your homepage looks. A great user experience should include: Simple and intuitive navigation Mobile responsiveness Logical page structure Accessibility for all users …  ( 5 min )

Imagine this: your app loads instantly, feels personal, and responds faster than ever—no matter where your users are in the world. That’s not a dream. That’s the edge. Something’s changing in how we build for the web—but it’s subtle. You won’t see flashy headlines about it (yet), but you’ll feel it when you visit a site and everything just works—instantly. This isn’t magic. It’s called edge-first development, and it’s probably going to be how we build everything in a few years. If you're imagining some cool hacker term, you're not far off. But in practice, the “edge” just means servers that are physically closer to your users.

🧩 What Is Blockchain? Blockchain is like a digital ledger, a special kind of record book, where transactions are recorded securely, transparently, and in a way that no one person controls. Instead of keeping information in one place (like a bank’s central server), blockchain distributes copies of the ledger to many computers worldwide. This distribution makes it decentralized and tamper-resistant. Imagine you and your friends keep a notebook listing who owes whom money. But instead of one notebook, every friend keeps an identical copy. Whenever someone writes in it, everyone updates their copy. If anyone tries to cheat and change their own notebook, it won’t match the others, and everyone will see. This is the core idea of blockchain.

Hi all, I'm currently navigating a career decision and could really use some expert opinions from fellow developers. My Background: The Challenges I'm Facing: Many job listings ask for 3–5 years of “recent” experience. Some companies prefer newer stacks or full-stack developers. I feel a bit behind, though I’m confident once I get in, I’ll perform well. My Questions to You: Is there still a good scope for traditional backend developers (Java/Spring) in 2025? Are companies hiring devs with older experience if they can prove current skill? Should I shift to full-stack or stay focused on backend? Any advice for positioning myself better in this market? With AI and automation growing so fast, is traditional backend development (Java, Spring, REST APIs, etc.) still a safe and valuable path? What are the current market conditions like in 2025 for devs — especially for people returning or restarting or freshers? Should I consider going full-stack or learn something else to improve my chances? What skills, tools, or technologies should I focus on now to stay relevant and hireable? If you’ve been in a similar situation or are working in hiring/mentoring roles, your perspective would be incredibly helpful. What would you do in my place?

My laptop groaned. My brain short-circuited. And then—CRASH. Chrome gave up. My work vanished into the digital void. The Dark Side of "Productivity" Lost tabs buried under a mess of duplicates. Random YouTube videos left playing (whoops). The dreaded "Aw, Snap!" error wiping my entire session. I was wasting time just managing my tabs instead of working. The Breaking Point I didn’t need another "tab manager" that forced me into complex workflows. I just wanted: ✅ One-click merging of all my tabs into a single, organized list. So… I built it myself. Introducing TabMerge—The Cure for Tab Overload 🔥 Merge all your open tabs into one tidy list—with a single click. No more: Accidentally closing important tabs Losing work to crashes Wasting time hunting through tab chaos Just one clean, searchable list of everything you had open. How It Changed My Workflow Work freely (open as many tabs as I want). Hit "Merge" when things get messy (or before closing Chrome). Restore tabs anytime—no more panic. It’s like giving your brain (and browser) a deep breath. Try It—It’s Free (No Upsells, No Nonsense) It’s simple by design—because the best tools just work without getting in your way. Ever hit "tab overload"? How do you manage yours? Let me know in the comments! 👇 (Or just try TabMerge and never look back.) 🚀  ( 4 min )

Background I have been working on a task assignment system where one of the tasks I need to do is to send everyone at the end of the work day stats of what tasks they had at the start of the work day and what tasks they have been able to close and if there are any new tasks that they were assigned during that work day. Initially, I created a manual method to send emails to them by using a button that I had to click at the end of each workday. This approach worked perfectly well. However, in situations where I was not there physically to click the button to send out the daily tasks reports to all users, this quickly became an issue for me, and coming up with a way to automate this process is no longer an option, but mandatory. This is where the Ruby Whenever gem comes in. Introduction: Whe…  ( 9 min )

The complete troubleshooting guide for when your image optimization goes horribly wrong Three weeks ago, I pushed what I thought was a simple image optimization update to production. WebP images with JPEG fallbacks, proper responsive sizing, lazy loading - everything the performance guides recommend. Within hours, our support team was flooded with complaints about broken images, slow loading times, and layout shifts that made our site look like it was built in 1995. That's when I learned the hard truth: image optimization isn't just about choosing the right formats - it's about understanding the thousand ways it can fail in production. This post is the debugging guide I wish I'd had during that crisis. If you've ever shipped image "optimizations" that made things worse, this one's for you.…  ( 9 min )

Introduction The goal of software verification and validation is to determine if the system is up to par with requirements and meets all applicable standards. The creation of high-quality software relies heavily on verification and validation. When checking if a product is constructed correctly according to specifications, verification is useful; when checking if it is built correctly to satisfy user expectations, validation is more useful. Here, we'll explore what verification and validation are in software development, how they are used, and when they are applied, along with their benefits. The purpose of software verification is to ensure that the program works as intended and is bug-free. It is the procedure used to check if the created product is correct. It checks to see if the fin…  ( 11 min )

Defer is used to terminate the execution of a statement just before the function block is completed. While Exit is used to forcefully stop the program(remember, stopping the program, unlike return which only stops a block of code) As briefly explained above, defer is used to delay the execution of a line of code within the scope of a function block. When the execution of the block is almost complete, the deferred statement is executed. Defer can be placed anywhere, the beginning or the end of the block. But it does not affect when it is executed, it will always be executed at the end. package main import "fmt" func main() { defer fmt.Println("halo") } fmt.Println("selamat datang") The keyword defer above will terminate the execution of in effect the message fmt.Println("hello"), "hello" will appear after "welcome". The deferred statement will still appear even if the code block is dismissed midway using return. For example, as in the following code.  ( 3 min )

👇 Why I Started Building This Platform I started building this platform because I noticed a significant gap in most freelance platforms—clients tend to reach out only to top-rated or long-standing freelancers. As a result, many new and emerging freelancers struggle to gain visibility and build their reputation. Being both a freelancer and the founder of a growing freelance community on Discord, I’ve seen this problem firsthand and experienced the same challenge myself. So, I decided to create a platform where freelancers and clients could connect more openly based on their needs—with a wider range of choices. A platform where every freelancer has the opportunity to showcase their creativity, and clients can discover fresh talent aligned with modern trends, often at more affordable rate…  ( 5 min )

Did you know you can use ChatGPT to generate Blender Python API code when creating models in Blender? These days, ChatGPT has become so accessible that you can start using it instantly—no account required. For example, if you want to “create a food stall”, you can ask ChatGPT to write code that automates the process of building the framework in Blender. And if you’re using the ChatGPT mobile app, you can even take a photo of a real-world object and say: Surprisingly often, you’ll get a result close to what you envisioned. But… do you ever feel stuck? That’s why I created a simple website where you just type what you want to generate in a text box, and it automatically converts your input into what I believe is a well-structured, effective prompt. 👉 Here’s the site ✨ How It Works For example, enter something like this: Japanese Festival Set - Food stalls (takoyaki, goldfish scooping, shooting gallery) - Lanterns, curtains, and signboards - Mini-game props (goldfish buckets, balloon dolls) The site will then generate the following prompt and copy it to your clipboard automatically: # Blender Python API Generated Code # Please write this code with as much quality as possible to meet the requirements below import bpy # User instructions: # Japanese Festival Set - Food stalls (takoyaki, goldfish scooping, shooting gallery) - Lanterns, curtains, and signboards - Mini-game props (goldfish buckets, balloon dolls) # TODO: Implement high-quality processing here # Example: create objects, apply settings, handle animations, etc. When you feed this prompt to ChatGPT, you’ll likely get a much more accurate and higher-quality response compared to a normal query. 💡 In Summary 🙏 Thank you for reading!

While the cloud has revolutionized how we build and scale applications, DevOps remains the foundation. You may hear things like: “DevOps can work without Cloud, but Cloud can't thrive without DevOps.” Let’s break down why that’s true 👇 DevOps = Culture + Tools + Automation It focuses on collaboration, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and more — across any environment (on-prem, cloud, hybrid). Cloud = On-demand compute & storage It provides scalable infrastructure but relies heavily on DevOps principles for speed, automation, and reliability. DevOps Tool Equivalent AWS Service Jenkins, GitLab CI AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild GitHub Actions AWS CodePipeline (Custom) Terraform AWS CloudFormation, CDK Ansible AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Kubernetes Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS Vault (Secrets) AWS Secrets Manager, KMS Prometheus/Grafana Amazon CloudWatch, AMP Cloud providers try to embed DevOps features into their ecosystem — but they rarely offer the same level of flexibility or community support. DevOps Tool Why AWS Can't Replace It Completely Jenkins Deep plugin ecosystem, cross-platform, and highly flexible Terraform Multi-cloud, human-readable, more modular than CFT/CDK GitHub/GitLab Widely used for source control, collaboration, and issues Prometheus/Grafana Deep, custom metrics and alerting beyond CloudWatch Vault Sophisticated secrets & encryption workflows ✅ DevOps works on-prem, cloud, hybrid, or multi-cloud ✅ DevOps covers CI/CD, IaC, security, monitoring, testing, & more ✅ Cloud services are tools, but DevOps is the strategy Cloud adopts DevOps to deliver faster, safer deployments — not the other way around. DevOps is the methodology; Cloud is the infrastructure. DevOps is the engine. Cloud is the fuel. One scales the other.  ( 4 min )

I shared my open-source hockey app across Reddit, LinkedIn, and X. Here’s what worked, what backfired, and what I’d do differently. Here’s a 30-second demo showing how it works: I built a goofy little tool that lets people create fake NHL stat cards. It was open source, quick to use, and fun to mess around with. So I launched it across three platforms: Reddit, LinkedIn, and X. In 5 days, it got 300 visitors, and 250 stat cards were created. Not bad for a side project. But the truth is, I could’ve had ten times that if I hadn’t completely botched my approach on the one platform that was actually working. This isn’t a success story.

Hey there, Go developer! If you’ve been writing Go for a year or two, you’re probably comfy with goroutines and channels. They’re lightweight, slick, and make concurrency feel like a breeze. But here’s the catch: when your program shuts down, do those goroutines exit cleanly—or linger like uninvited guests, hogging memory and ports? Picture this: you deploy a web service, send a SIGTERM to restart it, and… nothing. Memory’s climbing, the port’s locked, and rogue goroutines are to blame. I’ve been there—debugging a production memory leak caused by sloppy shutdowns—and it’s not fun. Poor goroutine management can lead to leaks, dangling file handles, or corrupted data, turning your reliable app into a mess. In this guide, we’re diving into graceful shutdowns: making sure your goroutines finis…  ( 7 min )

GitHub Homepage: https://github.com/eastspire/hyperlane During my final year project on distributed systems, I encountered a fundamental challenge that shapes modern web development: how to enable efficient bidirectional communication between clients and servers. Traditional request-response patterns felt inadequate for the interactive applications we were building. My exploration of bidirectional communication led me to discover patterns that revolutionize how we think about client-server interaction. The breakthrough came when I realized that most web applications still operate under outdated communication paradigms designed for static content delivery. Modern applications require dynamic, interactive communication patterns that traditional HTTP cannot efficiently provide. My research re…  ( 8 min )

GitHub Homepage: https://github.com/eastspire/hyperlane My fascination with real-time web applications began during a project where we needed to push live updates to thousands of connected clients simultaneously. Traditional polling approaches created excessive server load and poor user experience.

The breakthrough came when I realized that SSE provides a simpler, more efficient alternative to WebSockets for many real-time scenarios. Unlike WebSockets, SSE works seamlessly with existing HTTP infrastructure, requires no special protocols, and provides automatic reconnection capabilities. My research revealed a framework implementation that maximizes these advantag…  ( 7 min )

GitHub Homepage As a junior computer science student, I gradually recognized the importance of asynchronous programming during my web development learning process. Traditional synchronous programming models often cause thread blocking when handling IO-intensive tasks, while asynchronous programming allows programs to continue processing other tasks while waiting for IO operations. Recently, I deeply studied a Rust-based web framework whose asynchronous programming implementation gave me a completely new understanding of this technology. In my previous projects, I used traditional synchronous programming models. While this model has clear logic, it encounters serious performance bottlenecks when handling large numbers of concurrent requests. // Traditional synchronous programming example @R…  ( 8 min )

How building a simple video app led me to create an MCP server that saves everyone the same headache Picture this: you're building a simple video processing application.

GitHub Homepage: https://github.com/eastspire/hyperlane My journey into production deployment began with a catastrophic failure during our first major product launch. Our web service, which performed flawlessly in development, crumbled under real-world traffic within minutes of going live. This humbling experience taught me that deployment isn't just about moving code to production—it's about architecting systems that can handle the unpredictable nature of real-world usage while maintaining performance and reliability. The transformation in my understanding came when I realized that production deployment requires a fundamentally different mindset from development. My research into deployment strategies revealed a framework that enables sophisticated production deployments while maintaining…  ( 11 min )

GitHub Homepage During my junior year studies, routing systems have always been the core component of web frameworks. Traditional routing implementations often face performance bottlenecks when handling large numbers of routes, especially in complex path matching scenarios. Recently, I deeply studied a Rust-based web framework whose routing system design gave me a completely new understanding of high-performance routing implementation. In my previous projects, I used various traditional routing solutions. While functional, they often have performance issues when dealing with complex routing scenarios. // Traditional Express.js routing implementation const express = require('express'); const app = express(); // Simple route definitions app.get('/', (req, res) => { res.send('Home page'); …  ( 9 min )

When AWS unveiled Kiro, its new AI-powered IDE, many developers likely honed in on its main features of it being an AI co-pilot, for spec driven development, and agent hooks. But have you ever wondered about the meaning behind the name itself? "Kiro" holds a deep significance, particularly in Japanese, that beautifully captures where AI stands in software development right now. In Japanese, "Kiro" translates to "circuit," "pathway," or "route." This might seem simple, but it carries powerful symbolism when you think about a groundbreaking AI development environment. Consider this, Circuits are the core of computing. They're where logic unfolds, where inputs transform into outputs, and where intelligence takes shape physically. As an AI IDE its building and refining these digital circuits. …  ( 4 min )

Traditional garbage collection approaches couldn't keep up with our allocation rate, and manual memory management seemed too complex for a web application. This crisis led me to explore resource management strategies that could deliver both performance and reliability. The breakthrough insight came when I realized that effective resource management isn't just about memory allocation—it's about designing systems that use resources predictably and efficiently throughout their lifecycle. My research revealed a framework that implements sophisti…  ( 11 min )

I learned about Portsentry from a book called "Practical Linux System Administration" by Kenneth Hess. It is a very simple yet useful tool to detect port scans or malicious bots trying to gather information about our publicly exposed instances (or even private ones given they got infected).

But you can also configure it to use IPTables or run an external script (see the last section). In the instructions below, I assume that you use the same infrastructure setup as I pushed to this GitHub repository: https://github.com/ppabis/portsentry-experiments. Refer to the README.md file to learn how to configure it for yourself. I will …  ( 13 min )

Imagine Kubernetes as a futuristic, global restaurant franchise. Running thousands of branches reliably, efficiently, and securely needs more than good chefs and cooks—it needs an orchestrated symphony of managers, systems, and trusted recipes. Let’s cook up a story that brings Kubernetes concepts to life through the daily operations of this grand culinary operation. Each Application 🍲 is a Signature Dish served in your restaurant. But a modern dish is more than just the food—it comes with unique instructions, tools, and even a particular type of pan (dependencies). Every time a plate is prepared, it's following a carefully packed kit: this is our Container 🍲. A Pod 🍳 is like a cooking station on the kitchen line, perhaps with several chefs working side by side on the same dish (multipl…  ( 6 min )

GitHub Homepage During my junior year studies, high concurrency processing has always been one of the technical fields I'm most interested in. While traditional multi-threading models can handle concurrent requests, they often encounter performance bottlenecks when facing large numbers of connections. Recently, I deeply studied a Rust-based web framework whose high concurrency processing capabilities gave me a completely new understanding of asynchronous programming. In my previous projects, I used thread pool-based concurrency processing models. This model allocates a thread for each request, and while implementation is simple, it has obvious scalability issues. // Traditional Java thread pool model @RestController public class TraditionalController { private final ExecutorService th…  ( 8 min )

GitHub Homepage As a junior computer science student, I have encountered various frameworks during my web development learning journey. From traditional Apache to modern Node.js, each framework has its unique advantages and limitations. Recently, I discovered an impressive Rust web framework whose performance made me reconsider the design philosophy of web servers. Throughout my learning experience, I found that traditional web frameworks often face performance bottleneck issues. Taking Apache as an example, while it is powerful and stable, its performance in high-concurrency scenarios is not ideal. I once conducted a simple performance test where Apache's average response time for 10,000 requests reached 300 microseconds, and in some complex scenarios, it even exceeded 2,500 microseconds.…  ( 6 min )

A practical, evidence-based guide to choosing between io.ReadAll, io.Copy, and io.CopyBuffer for file and stream operations in Go. When working with files, network streams, or other I/O in Go, developers often face a choice: Should you load all data into memory, or process it as a stream? This article presents real benchmark and memory profiling results for Go’s core data copying strategies, clarifies their tradeoffs, and offers clear guidance for real-world applications. io.ReadAll: Load Everything Into Memory func readBodyIoReadAll(r io.Reader, w io.Writer) error { b, err := io.ReadAll(r) if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("reading data: %w", err) } // process data. we just use a write here as a placeholder if _, err := w.Write(b); err != nil { re…  ( 6 min )

AI that only spits out code is like a lone bricklayer: helpful, but you won’t raise a skyscraper with bricks alone. Hands‑on coding makes up just 16–35% of a developer’s week—the rest is spent on architecture, security, performance tuning, and cross‑functional planning. Large language models (LLMs) promise speedups—some studies show time savings on green‑field tasks—but newer field research on mature codebases finds that AI can actually slow experts by ~20%. Treating Claude as a single, all‑knowing generalist ignores these trade‑offs. To get expert‑level output, you must move from prompting to deliberate systems design.

Você realmente sabe o que é Inteligência Artificial (IA)? Ouve-se falar de Inteligência Artificial por toda parte, mas o que ela realmente significa? No meu TCC, antes de mergulhar no código, a primeira etapa foi revisitar a base. De forma simples, a IA é um ramo da ciência que busca, através da tecnologia, simular a inteligência humana. O objetivo é criar sistemas capazes de resolver problemas, aprender, e até tomar decisões para nos auxiliar nas mais diversas tarefas. Muitas vezes, a discussão sobre IA vem acompanhada do medo de que as máquinas tomarão nossos empregos. É uma preocupação compreensível, que surge a cada nova revolução tecnológica. No entanto, a perspectiva que mais me inspira – e que guiou meu trabalho – é outra. Acredito que o verdadeiro potencial da IA não está em substituir o ser humano, mas em ser uma grande aliada. As máquinas estão se tornando capazes de complementar e aprimorar o que fazemos com nossa própria inteligência. Nos próximos posts, vamos explorar a fascinante história da IA e suas aplicações práticas, até chegar em como utilizei esses conceitos para desenvolver uma solução na área da saúde. Essa é a primeira parada da nossa jornada. O que mais você gostaria de saber sobre os fundamentos da IA?  ( 3 min )

Welcome back, front-end warriors! We've successfully conquered advanced Flexbox yesterday, and now, on Day 33, we're shifting gears to explore another powerful layout tool in our arsenal: CSS Grid Basics. If Flexbox is your one-dimensional layout friend, think of CSS Grid as its awesome two-dimensional counterpart. CSS Grid allows you to define a grid structure with rows and columns, giving you incredible control over the placement and sizing of elements within that grid. It's fantastic for creating more complex and structured page layouts, moving beyond the linear flow of Flexbox. If you've ever worked with tables or thought about laying out elements in a more structured, row-and-column fashion, then CSS Grid will likely feel like a breath of fresh air.

When you're building a startup, it’s tempting to keep everything internal - product, design, development, marketing, even QA. But from experience, trying to do everything in-house too early can slow you down, burn your budget, and distract your team from what really matters: building something people actually want. 1. Focus is your greatest asset: Early-stage teams should be laser-focused on solving the core problem their product is built around. Managing a growing dev team, onboarding designers, and running operations can quickly become a full-time job on its own. By offloading non-core work, you free your internal team to focus on the stuff that drives traction and growth. 2. Hiring takes time you don’t have: Let’s be honest, hiring great talent is hard, and doing it well takes time. In-house hiring means interviews, onboarding, payroll, and long-term commitment. If you need to move fast (and most startups do), bringing in experienced specialists through staff augmentation or outsourcing is often the smarter move. 3. Outsiders can bring speed and clarity: A good external team has done this before, probably dozens of times. They bring reusable solutions, best practices, and fresh perspective. You’re not paying for someone to "figure it out," you’re paying for execution. 4. You can still build your culture: Outsourcing doesn’t mean you don’t have a strong team, it means you’re smart about how you scale. Build your core team slowly and intentionally. Let outside experts help you keep shipping while you lay the foundation for long-term success. Conclusion: Startups win by staying lean, fast, and focused. Doing everything in-house might feel right at first, but it often leads to bottlenecks and burnout. Be strategic. And what are your thoughts?  ( 3 min )

To be honest, this whole experience with the Salesforce MTS hiring process has left me pretty disheartened. A good friend of mine had kindly referred me for the MTS role. Shortly after, a recruiter reached out to schedule a call with the hiring manager. I was genuinely excited — not just because of the opportunity, but because I admire the work Salesforce does and was eager to be part of that journey. The conversation with the manager went deep. We discussed my resume, my day-to-day responsibilities as an engineer, and the kind of problems I solve regularly. It felt like a great conversation — he even mentioned that he was interested in moving forward. Naturally, I was hopeful. But then… nothing. I waited. I followed up with the recruiter — not once, not twice, but five times over the span of three weeks. No replies. No updates. Not even a short acknowledgment. Just complete silence. And honestly, that part hurt the most. After weeks of waiting and uncertainty, I finally received an email saying I wasn’t selected — with no feedback, no context, and no explanation. Just a cold rejection note after investing all that time, energy, and hope. I understand not every candidate gets selected. That’s just how the process works. But what’s hard to accept is the lack of basic communication. As someone actively seeking an opportunity, all I was hoping for was a little clarity, a response, or at the very least — a sense of being treated with respect. We’re all humans at the end of the day. A simple message or acknowledgement can go a long way. I still admire Salesforce for the incredible company it is, but I genuinely hope the recruiting process can be more empathetic and transparent for future candidates. This was more than just a rejection — it was a deeply disappointing experience that I wish had been handled with a bit more humanity.  ( 3 min )

Building Robust Data Pipelines with Apache Iceberg: A Production Deep Dive 1. Introduction The relentless growth of data volume and velocity presents a constant engineering challenge: maintaining query performance and data consistency in the face of evolving schemas and increasing data complexity. We recently faced this acutely while building a real-time fraud detection system for a large e-commerce platform. Initial attempts using traditional Hive tables on HDFS resulted in increasingly slow query times as the table grew, coupled with brittle schema evolution processes that frequently broke downstream applications. This necessitated a move towards a more modern table format capable of handling petabytes of data with sub-second query latency and seamless schema changes. This blog pos…  ( 7 min )

If you’ve worked with MongoDB or other document-based databases, you may have come across BSON. It sounds similar to JSON, and it is — but with some important differences under the hood. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based format for storing and exchanging data. It’s readable, widely used, and supported by almost every programming language. Here’s a typical JSON object: { "name": "Alice", "age": 28, "isMember": true } It’s simple, readable, and works great for APIs, configs, and data interchange. BSON stands for Binary JSON, and it’s the internal data format used by MongoDB. Think of BSON as JSON’s binary cousin — optimized for storage and speed. It maintains the same basic structure (documents made of key-value pairs) but adds a few superpowers. Here’s wh…  ( 4 min )

React transformed how we build user interfaces, but it was JSX that made this transformation accessible to developers worldwide. Before JSX, writing React components meant wrestling with verbose React.createElement() calls that obscured the structure of your UI behind layers of nested function calls. A simple button required multiple lines of imperative code that bore little resemblance to the HTML it would ultimately render. JSX changed this paradigm by bridging the gap between how we think about UI structure and how we express it in code. It allows developers to write components that read like markup while maintaining the full power of JavaScript expressions. And this is a fundamental shift that makes React code more maintainable, readable, and intuitive. The real power of JSX extends be…  ( 8 min )

🚀 Introduction When I first heard about the AWS, I had zero knowledge about Amazon Web Services. Cloud computing felt like something only experienced developers or tech giants used. But then I discovered a world of free programs, learning paths, and beginner tools — all offered by AWS itself! In this blog, I’ll walk you through how anyone — whether you're a student, teacher, or professional — can start learning AWS for free and even build hands-on projects using the AWS Free Tier. 🌥️ What is AWS? AWS (Amazon Web Services) is the world’s most popular cloud platform that offers services like storage (S3), virtual machines (EC2), databases (RDS), serverless computing (Lambda), AI/ML, and more. Don’t worry if that sounds overwhelming. AWS has made it super easy for beginners to start, especi…  ( 4 min )

Most architecture efforts fail long before a single diagram is drawn. The reason? We dive into technology choices before we understand what we’re solving and who we’re solving it for. I’ve seen it. I’ve done it. And I’ve paid the price for skipping the basics. You're asked to "architect a solution." So you open up Lucidchart or draw a C4 model. Maybe you start mapping components and APIs. But without clear alignment on value, context, and stakeholders, even the best technical design ends up: Misaligned with business needs Hard to explain Dismissed or ignored by non-tech decision makers Here are the three questions I now ask before touching any diagram: What value is this delivering? Is this saving cost, enabling a new product, reducing risk? Architecture is not about beauty — it’s …  ( 4 min )

A few days ago, I was thinking about how to expand my network and connect with people in the tech industry. That’s when I remembered an old friend I hadn't seen in almost two years. He works in IT at a university here in Vancouver. I reached out, and to my delight, we met up yesterday. What followed was an incredibly insightful and encouraging conversation. He generously shared his journey with me—how he navigated his path, the unexpected opportunities he found, and the mindset shifts that helped him grow. One key takeaway was how valuable short certificates can be when paired with focused goals. He also reminded me not to limit my job search to traditional tech companies—there are many organizations out there with tech roles that fly under the radar. We also talked about volunteering as a way to build experience and connections, the importance of tailoring your resume for every role, and staying consistent with applications. One piece of practical advice stood out: don't waste time applying to job postings that are more than a couple of days old—by then, they might already be gone. I left our conversation with a spark of energy and a fresh sense of direction. I know I still have a long road ahead of me—so much to learn, so much to build—but I’m genuinely excited about it all. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple coffee chat with someone you trust to reframe your perspective.  ( 3 min )

GeorgeLanguage I am 16 years old, and have always loved programming since 13. It's fun, it's unique, it makes you feel good when you find that error on line 342. Learning how to was hard. I started with Python (told it was easy) but I just couldn't understand it. Like, seriously, "print"? What am I printing? I then moved to Rust, which for some reason clicked. I loved how the language builds you up and doesn't knock you down with constant errors. Compiler warnings are super helpful for sure. This inspired GeorgeLanguage (GLang for short), an interpreted programming language for complete beginners. The syntax has a dog theme. Built-in functions like bark and chew make programming simpler. The for loop is actually called a walk loop! Errors help you grow as a programmer with helpful messages and tips. You can check it out here.  ( 3 min )

If you’re new to Web3, chances are that your introduction was a whisper about airdrops, token taps, or free crypto rewards. Perhaps a friend showed you a Telegram group where all you had to do was join, follow, retweet, and just maybe, thousands of dollars in tokens would drop into your wallet one day. It sounds like a dream, right? A fool’s dream. Today, we need to talk about the penny-wise, pound-foolish syndrome plaguing Web3 beginners, and why many are sprinting after illusions instead of building skills, networks, and real wealth in the decentralized world.

JavaScript is often described as a single-threaded language, yet it can handle asynchronous operations seamlessly. This might sound contradictory at first, but understanding how JavaScript achieves this is crucial for every developer. Let's break it down with clear examples. A thread is an independent sequence of execution within a program. Think of it as a worker that can execute code line by line. Each thread has its own call stack and can run independently. // Imagine this as a single worker (thread) executing tasks console.log("Task 1"); console.log("Task 2"); console.log("Task 3"); // Output: Task 1, Task 2, Task 3 (in order) Single-threaded means JavaScript has only one main thread (also called the main execution thread) that executes your code. This thread can only process one oper…  ( 5 min )

GitHub Homepage As a junior computer science student, I have encountered various frameworks during my web development learning journey. From traditional Apache to modern Node.js, each framework has its unique advantages and limitations. Recently, I discovered an impressive Rust web framework whose performance made me reconsider the design philosophy of web servers. Throughout my learning experience, I found that traditional web frameworks often face performance bottleneck issues. Taking Apache as an example, while it is powerful and stable, its performance in high-concurrency scenarios is not ideal. I once conducted a simple performance test where Apache's average response time for 10,000 requests reached 300 microseconds, and in some complex scenarios, it even exceeded 2,500 microseconds.…  ( 6 min )

GitHub Homepage: https://github.com/eastspire/hyperlane My deep dive into context management began during a performance optimization project where I discovered that inefficient request context handling was creating memory leaks and performance bottlenecks. Traditional web frameworks often treat context as an afterthought, leading to resource waste and complex state management. This experience led me to explore how sophisticated context management can dramatically improve both performance and developer experience. The pivotal insight came when I realized that request context isn't just about passing data between functions—it's about creating an efficient, type-safe mechanism for managing the entire request lifecycle. My research revealed a framework that implements context management patter…  ( 9 min )

Dune: Awakening serves up a spicy mash-up of survival, MMO and strategy that’s hard to put down—at least for the first few dozen hours. Its devotion to Frank Herbert’s lore and careful genre-blending feel fresh at first, but the formula starts to wear thin as you grind through repetitive tasks. By the time you hit the endgame, the lack of clear direction becomes glaring, and leaning too heavily on the source material ends up clipping the game’s own wings. Fans might stick around for the atmosphere and world-building, but the overall pace and structure could use a bit more kick.  ( 3 min )

Ever wondered how search boxes suggest words as you type? Or how a spell checker knows what you probably meant to write? Behind the scenes, there's a powerful but often underrated data structure making it all possible: the Trie (pronounced "try"). Let’s take a look 👇 A Trie, also known as a prefix tree, is a tree-like data structure used to store a dynamic set of strings — especially useful for prefix-based lookups. Each node in a trie represents a character, and by connecting nodes from top to bottom, you can represent entire words. Tries shine when you’re dealing with words, prefixes, or partial matches. You’ll find them behind: Autocomplete and search suggestions (e.g. Google search, VSCode IntelliSense) Spell checkers and correctors IP routing (longest prefix matching) Word games like…  ( 5 min )

Introduction In database systems, concurrent transactions can lead to issues that affect data consistency. These issues, known as read phenomena (dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, phantom reads) and serialization anomaly, occur when multiple transactions read and write data simultaneously. This document defines and explains these phenomena with examples to illustrate their impact in a generic database context. Definition: A transaction reads data that has been modified by another transaction but not yet committed. If the modifying transaction rolls back, the read data becomes invalid. Example: Transaction 1 updates a customer’s balance to 90 but hasn’t committed. Transaction 2 reads the balance as 90. Transaction 1 rolls back, restoring the balance to 100. Issue: Transaction 2 operate…  ( 7 min )

Kafka Connector Plugins: A Deep Dive into Production Considerations 1.

Organizations worldwide are discovering that implementing generative AI isn't as straightforward as they expected. While many have access to sophisticated AI models, they face a significant challenge: their data isn't properly prepared for AI integration. The concept of AI ready data has become crucial as companies realize that AI systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), can only perform as well as the data they're trained on. Without properly structured, current, and contextually rich data, even the most advanced AI models will produce subpar results. This reality has shifted the focus from merely selecting AI models to ensuring that organizational data is properly prepared for AI implementation — whether it's for building internal knowledge bases, enhancing customer support, o…  ( 5 min )

In EP01, we learned how to build a Python web app with Flask and Dockerize it. Now, let’s level up by introducing Docker Compose — a tool that lets you define and run multi-container applications with ease. Imagine you want to run: Your Python app Plus a Redis cache Or a PostgreSQL database Instead of typing docker run commands for each container (and remembering port mappings, volumes, etc), you can define everything in one simple file: docker-compose.yml. my-python-app/ ├── app.py ├── requirements.txt ├── Dockerfile └── docker-compose.yml We’re still using the same app.py, requirements.txt, and Dockerfile from Episode01. Your image will be built automatically by Docker Compose. Here’s how to define your Flask app in Compose: version: '3.8' services: web: build: . image: my-python-app ports: - "5000:5000" build: Build the image using your Dockerfile in this folder image: Give the image a name (you’ll use this again) ports: Maps port 5000 in the container to port 5000 on your machine Let’s add a basic Redis container to help your app cache stuff (even if we don’t use it yet). version: '3.8' services: web: build: . image: my-python-app ports: - "5000:5000" depends_on: - redis redis: image: redis:alpine "Start Redis before starting the web app." Even if you’re not using Redis in code yet, this shows how easy it is to link containers together! In your project directory, run: docker-compose up Docker will: Build your my-python-app image Start your web app on port 5000 Pull and run a Redis container or docker-compose up -d Everything above, but runs in detached mode, This means Docker will run containers in the background, and you'll get your terminal prompt back. Now visit: http://localhost:5000 Docker Compose helps you manage multiple containers. You no longer need to run docker build or docker run manually.

Are you just starting your journey into Docker and wondering what a Dockerfile is, or how docker-compose fits into the picture? This guide will walk you through the basics step-by-step, with clear examples and simple language. By the end, you'll understand how to write a basic Dockerfile, build an image, and then use that image with docker-compose. Think of a Dockerfile like a recipe. It tells Docker how to make a "container image" – a snapshot of your application and everything it needs to run. Here’s a very basic example of a Dockerfile: # Start from a base image with Python installed FROM python:3.10-slim # Set the working directory inside the container WORKDIR /app # Copy your code into the container COPY . . # Install any required dependencies RUN pip install -r requirements.txt #…  ( 4 min )

IT budgets are tight, and teams are under pressure to do more with less. It’s easy to focus only on the sticker price when buying new hardware or software. But over time, many organizations find themselves spending far more than they expected. This is a common challenge in IT asset management. The real cost of owning technology isn’t just the upfront price. There are ongoing costs like maintenance, support, energy use, downtime, and eventual disposal. These hidden costs can quietly drain resources and impact your bottom line. That’s where the concept of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comes in. TCO gives you a clearer view of what an asset costs from the day you acquire it until it’s no longer in use. When you buy a new piece of technology, it’s easy to focus on the price tag. But the truth …  ( 12 min )

Imagine yourself a passenger in a vehicle driving along an Expressway. A bus cuts into your path unexpectedly to take on a passenger, cyclists dart in and out of traffic with heart-stopping agility, and pedestrians step into the road apparently at random. Now imagine attempting to drive through this organized mayhem without using your eyes. Impossible, correct? However, this is exactly the problem that self-driving car engineers are overcoming. Self-driving cars don’t “see” like humans, using two eyes. Instead, they’re fitted with a suite of superhuman senses — a collection of cameras, radar, and lasers that collectively create an updating, 360-degree digital map of the world. So, how does this incredible technology work? Let’s dissect the three primary “senses” of an autonomous vehicle. L…  ( 5 min )

Ever received a bank alert asking, “Did you just make this transaction?” That’s anomaly detection in action. In machine learning, anomaly detection is all about identifying unusual data points—ones that don’t follow the expected pattern. Whether it’s a spike in CPU usage, a security breach, or a drop in app performance, anomalies often signal deeper issues. And in today’s data-rich world, catching these early is crucial for both performance and security. There are three main approaches: Supervised Learning: Requires labelled data, including known anomalies. Unsupervised Learning: Assumes most data is normal; detects the rest. Semi-supervised Learning: Trains only on normal data, flags anything unusual. Popular ML algorithms for anomaly detection include: Isolation Forest One-Class SVM Autoencoders LSTM (especially for time series data) Time series anomaly detection is essential for monitoring systems, finance, and IoT—basically any scenario where data evolves over time. Real-world use cases? Fraud detection, predictive maintenance, patient monitoring, system performance tracking—you name it. Still, challenges like lack of labelled anomalies, false positives, and constantly evolving data can complicate things. That’s why hands-on experience is key. Want to dive deeper?

The old waterfall model of software development—where design led to coding, which led to testing, which finally led to release—has been thoroughly disrupted by the realities of modern software delivery. Today's development reality operates more like a continuous loop where design, coding, testing, and release activities happen simultaneously and influence each other in real-time. Testing is no longer a phase that occurs after development; it has become the pulse of delivery itself—short, rapid beats of feedback that keep the product healthy as it grows and evolves. This pulse-driven approach means that testing feedback loops must be measured in minutes rather than days, and quality insights must flow continuously throughout the development cycle rather than arriving as a final verdict befo…  ( 6 min )

The Mirage of AI Intelligence A few years ago, I found myself mesmerized by the sudden fluency of large language models. I had been working in AI for a while building agents, tweaking prompts, exploring symbolic systems. But something about GPT’s output felt... different. It wasn’t just smart. It was slick. It sounded like it understood. I remember the exact moment: I fed a raw transcript of a deeply emotional conversation into a local LLM and asked it to detect agreement and tension shifts. It gave a staggeringly good summary. For a split second, I felt like I was talking to something that “got it.” But I’ve been in this game long enough to recognize that feeling as a trap. What we experience as intelligence is often a projection. A simulation. A performance. Headlines scream about sent…  ( 7 min )

Here are simple steps/rules how to use ChatGPT and alike without brain rot and being degraded: Do not copy anything from what LLM replies, safely copy what you answer, of course, if your answers/prompts are entirely written by you. Treat ChatGPT like a book rather than a source you can copy from, yes it's tempting, but that's where all the brain rot comes from. Plan what you want to discuss or create with very simple and rough points, write them down somewhere. In a new chat without using Deep Thinking/Reasoning (so that LLM uses less memorized data from you). Browse information, look for additional knowledge and ask opinions for each point you wrote down - DO NOT include your opinions - only ask just like you would search info in Google. Now go away from LLM, maybe drink something, just r…  ( 4 min )

But let me be clear: I’m not the kind of developer who jumps on every trendy new tool the moment it launches. Unless I see a clear reason it could help me in my real work, I usually wait and watch. That’s because right now, I’m working under a strict timeline for GTM (Go-To-Market). I’m constantly evaluating anything that might help me ship faster without sacrificing quality. I have Figma designs ready for most of our screens. Just last week, I built out an entire chat module—including both the UI and backend APIs—using ChatGPT to help speed up the process. Tools like that are no longer just experiments …  ( 10 min )

Welcome back to our beginner-friendly Git series! Think of git init as setting up a “save system” for your project—like turning on version tracking. When you run this command inside a folder, Git starts watching it and keeps track of every change you make from now on. It creates a repository, often called a "repo"—a space where Git stores all the version history of your files. You’ll be able to save snapshots of your work, go back in time, and even collaborate with others. But before we get to the cool stuff, we need to set up Git in a project folder. Let’s create your very first Git repository. Open your terminal or command prompt and type: mkdir my-first-git-project cd my-first-git-project This will create a new folder and move you into it.

Gracefully Integrating Sentry-Go Middleware into Fiber v3 Projects This article explains how to integrate error monitoring functionality using Sentry-Go v0.34.1 in projects built with Go 1.24.3 and Fiber v3. We'll demonstrate how to adapt and rewrite the sentryfiber middleware to support Fiber v3 and enhance flexibility with configurable path skipping (SkipPaths). Go Version: 1.24.3 Fiber Version: v3 Sentry-Go Version: 0.34.1 Currently, the official sentryfiber middleware supports only Fiber v2. Given our project's upgrade to Fiber v3, middleware adaptation and rewriting are necessary. The rewritten middleware introduces these key enhancements: Fiber v3 Compatibility: Ensures compatibility with all Fiber v3 APIs. SkipPaths Configuration: Allows specific request paths to be ignored, reducing redundant or unnecessary logging. Customizable Options: Includes common configurations such as Repanic, WaitForDelivery, and Timeout, providing a flexible integration experience. Here is the key implementation code: type Options struct { Repanic bool WaitForDelivery bool Timeout time.Duration SkipPaths []string } func New(opts Options) fiber.Handler { if opts.Timeout == 0 { opts.Timeout = 2 * time.Second } skip := opts.SkipPaths return func(c fiber.Ctx) error { if len(skip) > 0 { path := c.Path() for  ( 3 min )

In today’s threat-heavy web environment, simply deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) isn’t enough. Modern web applications demand a solution that secures traffic without becoming a bottleneck. That’s where SafeLine WAF, combined with Nginx, shines. Nginx is more than just a high-performance web server. It’s also a reverse proxy, load balancer, and caching layer trusted by some of the biggest websites on the internet. When integrated with a WAF like SafeLine, Nginx doesn’t just pass requests—it becomes a frontline filter that helps ensure security and performance go hand in hand. SafeLine WAF works by hooking into Nginx to inspect HTTP requests in real time. It blocks malicious payloads like: SQL injection XSS Remote command execution Path traversal And more... Meanwhile, it lets legitimate traffic flow without delay, maintaining a seamless user experience. This lightweight yet powerful setup means your application stays secure—without adding noticeable latency or resource drain. The integration takes advantage of Nginx’s event-driven architecture. All traffic hits Nginx first, and then SafeLine processes only the essential security logic per request. Key benefits: Low CPU and memory footprint No added hops or proxies Fast response times even under high load Easy to scale horizontally with Nginx clusters If your application is dealing with high traffic and real security risks, SafeLine WAF + Nginx is a proven combination worth exploring. It’s free, open source, and battle-tested—designed for developers and security teams who care about speed, scale, and safety. ➡️ Ready to get started?

Recently, I helped several clients evaluate security tools—and one recurring topic was WAFs (Web Application Firewalls). WAFs are essential for blocking attacks like SQL injection, RCE, and XSS. But how do you know if a WAF actually works in real-world scenarios? To answer that, I ran a comparative test of several open-source or free WAFs, using a consistent methodology and transparent test data. The effectiveness of a WAF should be measured scientifically. We used four key metrics: Detection Rate – Measures how many attacks are caught (True Positive Rate). False Positive Rate – How often normal traffic is incorrectly blocked. Accuracy Rate – A combined score of true positives and true negatives. Detection Latency – The average time a WAF takes to process and respond to a request. Th…  ( 5 min )

Unlocking Data-Driven Insights with Google Cloud Drive Activity API The modern enterprise generates a massive volume of data from user interactions with cloud storage.

It’s 2025, and I still meet people who haven’t used a single AI agent. I’m not talking about ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot. I mean something that can take real action. Something that can handle a task on its own, use tools, remember context, and finish what you started. That’s an agent. And if you haven’t tried one yet, you’re already behind. Agents are no longer a tech demo. They’re useful. Reliable. Affordable. And honestly, they save time in a way that’s hard to ignore once you’ve used one. So What’s Changed? Back in 2023, agents were kind of a mess. They got stuck. They forgot what they were doing. Most people gave them a shot, saw the chaos, and moved on. But now things work. Agent frameworks are solid.

At some point, every team hits a wall with their database. Queries slow down, replicas get overloaded, or infrastructure starts to creak under growing traffic. And then the thought pops up: maybe it’s time to switch to something better? Modern databases promise a lot: built-in scalability, serverless everything, easy compatibility. Just export your data, point your app to the new system, and you’re good to go. But if your database is in production with real users, jobs, dashboards, and data pipelines, a migration is rarely that simple.

Event Bridge How do I route events from a DynamoDB stream to multiple Lambda functions? Our AI pipeline consists of 10 modules, each dependent on the previous step, so we need to implement event-driven trigger system. At certain stages, some modules require aggregation-based triggering. To support this, I implemented an event system using: Dynamodb stream Lambda functions to filter events check whether it is success or not register fallback process Step functions to handle fallback cases (e.g., cron jobs, check condition, trigger next modules) This setup has worked well so far. However, as we expand to additional AI modules that also require aggregation-based triggers, the need for scalability and flexibility is becoming more important. To address this, I'm planning to refactor our legacy event system by introducing EventBridge and updating our Lambda structure. Fan out (1:N) Filtering Routing (Rules) Support multiple target types EventBridge includes two ways to process and deliver events: event buses and pipes. Routers that receive events and deliveers them to 0 ~ N targets. Well suited for routing events (N:M) With optional transformation of events prior to delivery Intended for point-to-point Each pipe receives events from a single source. 1:1 Advanced transformation and enrichment of events prior to delivery. 💡 Pipes and event buses are often used together. A common use case is to create a pipe with an event bus as its target; the pipe sends events to the event bus, which then sends those events on to multiple targets. Stream: DynamoDB Stream Pipes: Consumes events from DynamoDB Streams Routes them to target EventBridge bus Filter events Bus: Deliver events to destinations (target) Enabling a dynamodb stream Create a bus Create a pipe 4.

Introduction Have you ever been stuck trying to figure out how to manipulate the styles of a prop in React using styled-components? What about when you want to directly apply CSS rules based on a prop's value, even if that prop is not a standard CSS property? Here is a quick guide on how you can get this done. Let's say that you have a button component with a prop called state(isLoading, isActive etc), and you want to change how this React component is displayed based on whether the state is true or false. Simply follow the below example, swapping out the CSS rules that you wish to conditionally apply. We are using TypeScript and styled-components in the below example. const StyledComponent = styled.button` // The base CSS styles for the button go here background-color: blue; // Styles will be conditionally applied based on the 'state' prop ${({ state }) => state && ` // These CSS rules will apply only when the 'state' prop is true border: 1px solid darkblue; opacity: 0.8; `} `; Since state is not a CSS property(like color or padding), we use a JavaScript template literal( ${} ) to inject our custom logic directly into the CSS. Inside the template literal, we provide a callback function(({ state }) => ... ) that is used by styled-components to pass the component's props. We have also used object destructuring( {state} ) to easily access the prop's value. As previously mentioned, the aim is to conditionally render the button based on the state prop, and we do this by using the logical AND operator( && ), where if the state prop is truthy, the expression evaluates to the CSS string inside of the inner backticks, with styled-components proceeding to apply the CSS. Otherwise, if the state prop is falsy, no CSS is injected from the block. Using this pattern to conditionally render components in React based on values of props is a great way to create dynamic components. Be sure to give it a try.  ( 4 min )

One of the biggest advantages of serverless services is their event-driven nature. When something (an event) happens, another service reacts. DynamoDB is a serverless NoSQL database that fits perfectly into this pattern. It allows you to build scalable, event-driven applications that respond to changes in your data in near real time. In this article, I’ll show you how to capture data changes in DynamoDB using DynamoDB Streams, and then use the stream as an event source to a Lambda function, which then logs the stream information to CloudWatch Logs, all implemented using Node.js and AWS CDK as Iac. Before we dive into the implementation, let’s consider a few use cases where capturing data changes can be valuable: Audit logging: Keep track of item-level changes for compliance or debugging.
